This was a stacker chip I assume? Did you remove the PCM to remove the chip, or could you remove the chip without removing the PCM from the footwell area? Did you disconnect the neg battery cable while you were fussin with the PCM/chip?

You might have wiped out the PCM, installing and uninstalling programmers is actually very risky if your an idiot. Prob just have to get the pcm reflashed if thats the issue. Either way I wouldnt be swapping chips from fords to dodges, that just sounds bad from the get go

turn your key to the on position dont crank it though your theft light should flash off and on for about 45 seconds while your ignition is in the on position. After 45 seconds the light will flash off and on every three seconds..At this time turn your ignition off for 30 seconds then start the truck.

Removing a programmer or chip from the 02 7.3L PCM which results in a crank no start generally means the PCM is crap. I worked with Ford Diesels for a long time and this is not a good sign. Tow the truck to a Ford dealer, or get a cheap code scanner, and run the system for codes... no data = new PCM.

again google it and you will find it is actually common that a chip or tuner will trip the theft system. before tow bills and dealer prices. how hard is it to take 20 minutes tops and try what i posted.
